6 grains of the stuff is enough to kill you, and it's coming in from China.

Payback for The Opium Wars? Just askin' like. .

Tea: pork chop, chips and beans

Accompanied by a further episode of the thing with the motorway police that aren't always on the motorway and the dashcam clips that aren't anything to do with what's going on

[NickFitz]

I read a bunch more of The Illusionist; he really was a most remarkable character, with some excellent ideas even in his early days of working out how best to conduct deception operations in the North African and Mediterranean theatres of war

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Morning denizens

Fog!

Not what I expected but it's a foggy start. Expected to remain cloudy all day with a chance of some rain around teatime. Warm again though, being 10°C already and reaching 18° in the afternoon. The barometers are down a tiny bit more at 998/1005mB

[NickFitz]

Oh, and Happy Beltane everybody!

I think that's all the first days of spring out of the way now

[WTFH]

Morning all
Overcast but dry out. As we were leaving home it looked like we might get soaked on the far hill, but it was OK.
Only managed about 8.5km this morning. I blame the dog for sleeping in.

Lots of chat on Teams about ClientGov's main office being blockaded by pro-Palestine protestors this morning, with people who were planning to go in retreating to nearby cafés or other offices to wait it out, while those who got in early now can't leave. Turning to Twitter while I wait for something unrelated, I see a video of said blockade posted by the protesters

Morning.

Wednesday apparently.

Dry.

Grey.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 14.3 deg, 13 deg in the kitchen, 13.5 deg in the leanto.

1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (untapped last night), 77% RH (GDR hair), 68% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 23rd of September 2019 I bagged a pali, quite unaware, lunch consisted of health food from Ginsters, NF had successfully posted the Monday links (without trauma, how unlike last Monday), I had a trip down the dump with accumulated crap, though nothing of much consequence, and some Esteemed Customer from 2004/5 had returned wanting to upgrade his HND to a degree & was surprised to find we'd all retired, while next door's aerial erector put up a ladder outside my bedroom window without asking if it was ok by me. Just as well I was playing Freecell rather than watching pron. There was reference to James Corden who, rather unfortunately, wasn't hanged in the film "Pierrepoint", fat obnoxious **** that he is.

Lunch: scrambled egg (just scrambled egg). etc.

Entertainment: Y&Y. TWATO.

Veronica Mars S1 E22 "Leave it to Beaver": the resolution of the mystery of Lily's murder one.

The Mentalist S1 E17 FFS.

Last 30 minutes of part 3 of "Murder in the Alps" that tribute to the efficiency of French justice, it ain't Maigret for sure.

Some nutter on Blaze waffling on about Weird Britain: Wiltshire: Avebury, Stonehenge, and all that. <click> Even less inneresting than the feckwhits on Ancient Aliens which is saying something.

Morning all

The day started off cloudy but seems to be brightening up now as there's a small patch of blue visible from my window. However, cloudy will remain the theme for the day. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 19 expected. No rain forecast during waking hours but there's a chance of thunderstorms overnight. Barometer down to 1010 mBar.

I was supposed to go into the office today but I couldn't be bothered, so I didn't.

It's HWMBO's birthday today.

[WTFH]

I'm currently bleeding radiators. No, seriously.

After getting the new vertical ones installed, there's been a bit of gurgling in the system. Air always coming out of just 2 rads. After taking advice from my plumber, I've turned all the other rads off and am letting the heating circulate for a while. Then go back and bleed again. Should be done in an hour.
